Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev explained that the wreckage will be examined to establish the sequence of events leading to the crash.
"The wreckage will be studied to determine the chronology of events and what caused the uproar. This includes working with the Embraer company to understand why the crash occurred. As for restricting access to the site, including for journalists, I asked for the area to be kept clear during my visit today. Investigative actions need to be conducted properly—any small piece of evidence could be crucial," Bozumbayev clarified.
